What to Expect
This East Africa safari moves through the heavyweights of Kenya and Tanzania, linking one iconic landscape to the next. You’ll begin in Kenya’s highlands, then head for the Maasai Mara, where the seasonal Great Migration redraws the plains and predators shadow the herds.
From there, you’ll continue to Lake Nakuru with flamingos blushing the shoreline, before travelling to Amboseli National Park for wildlife encounters framed by Kilimanjaro’s snow-capped silhouette.
Next, you’ll cross into Tanzania and journey through the Serengeti, a vast savannah alive with movement, before descending into the Ngorongoro Crater, where wildlife gathers in dense concentrations inside an ancient caldera. The journey ends in Tarangire National Park, its ancient baobabs standing guard over some of Africa’s largest elephant herds. It’s more than a Big 5 safari – it’s East Africa, unfiltered.
